Abstract:
With the aging of the population and changes in family structure, optimizing home safety monitoring systems for older adults and children—two major vulnerable groups—has become a critical issue in public health and social sciences. This article systematically compares the advantages and limitations of traditional manual monitoring and intelligent technologies. It reveals that traditional models, which rely heavily on human resources, are associated with high costs and inconsistent quality. In contrast, intelligent devices face challenges such as privacy risks, high expenses, and limited user adaptability. Looking forward, this study proposes the integration of a "medical-nursing-family" collaborative mechanism with telemedicine technologies. Through technological innovation, policy support, and social cooperation, a multi-level monitoring network should be established to balance safety effectiveness with humanistic care.
